1940 Chevrolet Pickup
VIN: LCP57322
Ranked among Chevrolet's first truly modern light-duty trucks, he 1940-series vehicles offered more of everything more comfort, ore style, nd more utility than ever before. Unfortunately, recious few of these handsome workhorses survived today. This outstanding professionally-built example has been featured is numerous magazines and marks an exciting opportunity to own and enjoy this timeless classic today.
Outstanding power is delivered by a 383 cubic-inch stroker V8 based on an LT-1 engine topped by a set of aluminum cylinder heads, ooked to a GM 700R4 overdrive automatic transmission that drives a 3.73:1 Gear Ford 9-inch rear end. Goodies include Street & Performance valve covers, serpentine pulley kit, /C, ower-steering, iring harness, oolant overflow tank, nd spark-plug wire separators. Exhaust is ejected through a set of Sanderson headers feeding a stainless-steel 2 -inch exhaust system with Edelbrock mufflers. Cooling is handled by a Be Cool radiator and electric fan.
The Chevy's suspension is thoroughly modernized, eginning with a boxed frame with hidden stainless-steel brake and fuel lines. A 5inch Heidt's cross member, -inch dropped spindles, nd Ridetech air bags and controls provide a wicked stance up front. The rear leaf-spring suspension is by Chassis Engineering and braking was vastly improved with a set of MP Brakes comprising 9-inch discs up front and drums out back. Fuel is delivered via a fuel tank provided by Tanks.
Finished in House of Kolor Blue Blood Red paint, he Chevy features numerous subtle modifications. Among them is a Pro Pick cargo bed, moothed tailgate, nd tonneau cover. The cargo bed features a White Pine wood-floor kit and stainless metal strips.
